Happy Birthday Kami!

Kami turned six last week. I have a hard time believing she is actually six, she is growing up so fast! Kami is my sweetheart. She has a heart of gold and just loves everyone. She loves to be a big sister and help with both the little ones. Kami holds a special place in my heart. I don't know if it is because she is my first child I got to stay home with, or that I got to spend the most one-on-one time with her, or it is just her sweet spirit but I sure do love that girl! Kami has done very well transitioning from the youngest to the middle child in a year and a half. She really loves to help, but she really loves nap time (for her sisters) so she can have mom time. She is very much a mommy's girl. Kami is loving Kindergarten and is doing so well. She is excited to be a first grader next year, but I will miss her so much! Her favorite color is still orange and she is still my biggest girly-girl ever! Her birthday requests this year were "anything Frozen" and a "Frozen party" (which I am still working on). Here are pics of her day.

Happy Birthday Kami!

Kami turned 5 yesterday. I can't believe my baby is 5 yrs old. I am not excited for her to start kindergarten, but couldn't wait to send the other two! Kami is my sweetheart, she is just a really sweet little girl. She is a very tender spirit and loves everyone. We hardly ever have to discipline her at all, she is just a really good girl. She is also my very girly girl. She is girly through and through. I have this incredible bond with her (not that I don't with the other three) but we have always been so close. I have always wondered if it is because I didn't work with her like I did with Ash and Kaite, or if it is just her sweet spirit, or it could be that she was my "miracle baby". Kami was in a lot of distress during my labor and was very grey when she was born, her feet were still grey like two hours later. 

Anyways, Friday we did her friends party and Sunday was her birthday (swimming this weekend to celebrate).

Here she is in her B-day dress.

Pin the tail on the donkey was a HUGE hit with the kids.

 

 Everything was pink and red for Strawberry Shortcake, Cash and Bryce didn't seem to mind too much!

 Alright, she loved her cake- I did not. Lyvi chose the day I made it to be a royal PAIN. She threw a huge fit in the middle of frosting it and that just threw me off from there.....then later when I was decorating it I forgot to put the stripes on the bottom AND I got lazy and used gum paste instead of fondant. It really was a mess all over, but tasted good (strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting). It's a good thing kids don't care what it looks like as long as it tastes good!

 They played with balloons

 and had a blast.

 Then we opened presents

That night we celebrated with my family at McDonald's and more cake (they were headed to LA the next day for my sis' wedding) and presents.

 Sunday morning we woke up and opened more presents. I got some AWESOME deals!

little purse and nail stuff

 new skirt

 new shirt and strawberry shortcake bubble bath

 books

 blueberry muffin doll

 plum pudding doll with outfits, this completes her set.

 

 bubble machine

 

 And her big present

 

Strawberry Shortcake's berry bitty market with car..... She loved it!

 I spent all day today buckling in all her different dolls in that car.

She wanted pancakes for breakfast.

 Ky turned on the bubble machine in the house! It was super cold outside though.

 More b-day dress pics

 Lyvi was in a good mood despite only sleeping 45 minutes at church (she slept 13 hours last night!)

 more cake with Grandma and Grandpa B.

This was the top layer that got kind of mangled when I pulled it off!

 Kami had a good day. I love what a happy girl she always is!

We love you Kami!

Summer Olympics

The girls had their summer Olympics a couple of weeks ago. This was Kami's first one and she did good, Kaite was quite nervous though. This will probably be Kaite's last one since she will be moving up to the team asap, then she will just have meets. They had fun and Kami has been wearing her medal constantly, she is so proud of it.

Kami on the beam. Lately she has been terrified, but she did good this day.

Seat drop

spin the cat

Kaite tries really hard to keep her toes pointed

I thought her flat-back looked awesome, check out how straight she is with pointed toes and everything.This is her dismount she has been working on for months "the switch-up" she was doing great with it until she fell off the beam a couple of weeks ago. She scraped herself up pretty good and now she is less daring, but I love her tongue (so concentrated)!

Ky's parents, Chris and Chelsea made it up.

Way to go girls we are so proud!!
Here is a pic with all of us at Chris and Chantelle's afterward. We celebrated a belated birthday for Chris with cake for lunch. Chantelle was at scout camp unfortunately.

The rest of the day was spent with cousins, more on that later.
